Wiebe still chasing ‘Donkey Kong’ crown

TechFlash has a great interview with Steve Wiebe, the Kirkland middle school teacher made famous in the documentary “The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters.”

Wiebe, who was inducted into the International Video Game Hall of Fame earlier this month, says he is still chasing the scoring record that he once held.

Billy Mitchell, Wiebe’s nemesis from the film, recently set new records for “Donkey Kong” and Donkey Kong Jr.” It doesn’t sound like Wiebe’s relationship with Michell has gotten any better since the documentary was shot.
